Mariah Carey's disastrous 2014 tour showed the world she is
not at her best
Is Mariah Carey hurting for money. Is Nick Cannon
sticking her up for a lot of cash in their divorce. Why you ask? The
struggling singer is in talks to do her own residency in Las Vegas,
which equates to a series of singing shows. Carey, whose voice
spectacularly gave out in 2014, with the website TMZ there to
capture every excruciating and embarrassing detail, is not in the
condition to hit the road.
Carey needs to give her voice a rest, lest she does
more permanent damage to her already battered and torn vocal cords.
Throwing herself into her work in this manner is not going to help
her forget about Cannon's cheating. I'll tell you what's going to
happen. She is going to go on stage and it will open her voice up to
repeated strain and literal tearing, night after night, as well as
errors due to distractions (see: Nick Cannon's cheating) creating
even more bad publicity when the mistakes go viral. She's just
setting herself up for more punishment.
More from Mariah Carey's 2014 tour gone wrong
Carey's legacy is horribly damaged. She needs to
stay home and spend time with her children and see a therapist on a
weekly basis, as she is prone to suicidal behavior (she has
attempted suicide more than once). A therapist can help her let go
of all the quirks and eccentricities, as well as the narcissism and
other personality disorders that have damaged her relationships with
people in her professional and personal life.
There are legendary stories in the industry of the
sheer nightmare Carey put employees of numerous companies through
with her unreasonable, demanding behavior. A therapist can also help
her come to terms with no longer being a teen star (she debuted at
age 18) as her mind is still stuck in that phase and so is her dress
sense and mannerisms.
Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon and their kids
Carey's 2014 tour did not fail because she is
getting older (Carey is 45). It failed because she refuses to accept
the fact she is no longer 18 and her voice is damaged from years of
drinking, drug use and overuse of her vocal cords via belting in
upper octave registers (there had to have been repeated tearing and
bleeding of her vocal cords for years to produce said sounds on a
constant basis).
There are artists who are older than Carey, such as
the Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Patti Labelle and Barbra Streisand,
to name a few and their live vocals are still strong and on point.
In closing, Carey needs to enter rehab for alcohol and prescription
pill abuse, as well as narcotics use. This would make a significant
difference in her life. Carey's children need her. She needs to
change her life in order to be there for them in a full capacity as
parent.
